You may be surprised to
receive this message, as we have not known each other previously. However, I
have been reliably informed of your Discretefulness and Ability in
transactions of this nature.

First, I must solicit your confidence in this Transaction, this is by
virtue if its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET! I came
to know of you in my private search for a Reliable and Reputable person
to handle this confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a
large sum of money to a foreign account requiring Maximum Confidence.
Though I know that a transaction of this Magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end
of the day.

I have decided to contact you due to the needful urgency of my
Situation. Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I
am MR. SADDAM HUSSEIN, a former high government official in Baghdad.
Unfortunately, due to a coup, our Benevolent Administration was usurped in
favor of a foreign occupying force, so I have been dismissed from my old
position. In addition, my two sons UDAI and QUSAI, also Public Servants,
were brutally killed during this occupation. Naturally, I am Vexed with
deep Sorrow over these events.

However, during my time
serving the people of Iraq, I was able to amass a modest Fortune by extracting
a processing and handling fee from the country's oil revenues, and I also
inherited a certain amount of money after the death of my Beloved Sons. As
it happens, those funds -- currently totalling just over 37 BILLION
AMERICAN DOLLARS -- are being held by a security company in Geneva. I am unable
to leave Tikrit at this time, however, as my mother has cancer and I
have to stay here and give her the insulin shots, and therefore I cannot
retrieve the money personally.

The Branch Accountant with
the First Despot Deposit & Trust Company of Switzerland, a Mr. Terrence
J. Wilkinson, has informed me that I may move the Monies to another bank
Account in America, but I require the help of an American who already has
such an account so that I may Discretely accomplish this thing. In
addition, I have a shipment of certain VALUABLE MINERALS acquired from Nigeria,
and I need to move these Materials to a more secure location. My previous
American confidant, Mr. Joseph Wilson, was unable to exercise the necessary
Discretion and Secrecy so I have been forced to look elsewhere. I
am prepared to offer you 10% of my total holdings (3.7 Billion Dollars) as
a fee for handling these Matters.

If you can assist me in
this matter, you should forward to me your telephone and fax number for
easy Communication and to fax you the OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS concerning the
consignments to ensure the transfer of the funds to your account. Your
prompt response is being highly Appreciated.
